Our main speakers for KYCK 2026!
Pre Shunmugam
Youth Pastor, MBM Rooty Hill
Pre is the youth pastor at Multicultural Bible Ministry (MBM) in Rooty Hill, Western Sydney. He’s married to Holly, and together they have three kids: Isla, Poppy, and Koby, along with two dogs, Snoop and Rocky.
He loves God and he loves people. Each week, he counts it a privilege to open the Bible and help others see how good God is and what He has done for us through Jesus. Nothing beats those lightbulb moments when God opens someone’s heart to understand His goodness and take the next step in their relationship with Him.
In his spare time, you’ll find Pre hanging out with family and friends, eating fried chicken, scrolling through food reels, or rewatching the 2023 NRL Grand Final (LESSGO Panthers!).
He’s excited to open the book of Jonah with you and stand in awe of the God who relentlessly pursues people like us, offering the satisfaction, meaning and purpose our souls long for.
Chris Mann
Lead Pastor, Cornerstone Anglican Church Box Hill
Chris is the lead pastor/planter of Cornerstone Anglican Church Box Hill, Sydney. He came to trust in Jesus at youth group and is passionate for others to know Him too! Prior to planting Cornerstone, Chris had been involved in youth ministry for a number of years. It’s such a joy for him watching God at work in teenagers and seeing them boldly live out their faith.
Chris is married to Helen, and they have four kids. He loves hanging out with them, all things tennis & the mighty Parramatta Eels! He can’t wait to dive into the book of Jonah at KYCK, looking at God’s heart, His deep mercy, and what it means for us!
